Before experimental drugs can be brought to market, they must undergo many rigorous trials to ensure they deliver their medical

benefits effectively and safely. One method commonly used in this process is to compare the effect of a drug with that of a placebo in double-blind tests. Which of the following correctly describes a double-blind test?
a. The researchers apply two-layered blindfolds to the study participants so that they cannot see whether they are receiving the drug or a placebo.
b. Neither the researchers nor the study participants know who is receiving the drug and who is receiving the placebo.
c. The researchers know who is receiving the drug and who is receiving the placebo, but they do not know what the supposed effects of the drug should be.
d. The researchers do not know who receives the drug or the placebo, but the participants know and tell them later.
e. None of the above is correct.

Answer:

b. Neither the researchers nor the study participants know who is receiving the drug and who is receiving the placebo.

Explanation:

In a double-blind test, there are two groups of participants: (1) people who are receiving the new drug and (2) people who are taking a placebo. Neither people from group (1) nor people from group (2) know what they are taking. Also, researchers recollect data from theses groups without knowing which person belongs to each group to avoid any "favoritism" caused by expected results.

Why can't both strands of DNA be replicated at the same time?
saw5 [17]

Answer: DNA is a molecule made up of two strands, twisted around each other in a double helix shape. The two strands are complementary which have a 5 prime end and a 3 prime end. To understand this question you must first understand the steps that follow.

DNA Replication:

<u>Step one: </u>

DNA Helicase (unzips) separates the strands.

<u>Step two:</u>

DNA Primase starts the process and makes a small piece of RNA called a primer. This marks the starting point for the DNA.

<u>Step three:</u>

DNA Polymerase binds to the primer and will make the new strand of DNA. DNA Polymerase can only add DNA bases in one direction, from the 5 prime end to the 3 prime end.

  • The leading strand is made continuously.
  • The lagging strand does not run continuously because it runs in the opposite direction. Each fragment is started with an RNA primer. DNA Polymerase then adds a short row of DNA bases from the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. This results in okazaki fragments because it can only replicate in small chunks. The process is repeated.

<u>Step four:</u>

Once the new DNA is complete the enzyme exonuclease removes all the RNA primers from both strands of DNA.

<u>Step five:</u>

Another DNA Polymerase fills in the gaps that are left behind with DNA.

<u>Step six:</u>

DNA Ligase seals up the fragments in DNA, in both strands to make a continuous double strand.

<u>Final answer:</u>

DNA Replication cannot replicate at the same time due to the leading and lagging strand.

Good luck!

How are virus infections like a “sneak attack”?
Rzqust [24]

Viruses enter human body like an invader and uses the living cells to replicate causing infections in the cell or can damage it.

Explanation:

The attacks of viruses on the body of living organisms is compared with a ‘sneak attack’ as they invade the body and enters into a living cell to replicate themselves. This may cause damage or bring about changes in the cell causing sickness and infections.

They can hide themselves on our body attacking sneakily to harm the immune system to fight the infection. This stealth infection can result in fever, damaging immunity, disorder etc.
